Basically it talks about common tropes and imagery for the time, but if we look closely, it talks about a specific style called “vanitasmotivet” or “the vanitas motif”. It’s about how life is short and is often shown off stylized with skulls, rotten fruit, blown out candles and hourglasses. It says Vanitas means “empty” or even “vainty”. However, during the Baroque vainty was not connected to caring about ones appearances, but rather it was connected to “void” and “emptiness”. I found that quite interesting, as this is obviously where the idea came from.

Life is short (something all of those things demonstrate)
